From the perspective of the style and carving techniques of the Buddha, Chu Chen thinks it should be the product of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, the Buddha is valuable.
What's more, the wax used in this Buddha statue is of extraordinary texture and color, and the height of this Buddha statue is nearly 20 cm. Such a huge piece of wax itself is not so easy to get, which makes this Buddha statue more precious.
The fake wax was regarded as a good thing by Nian Dashan, but the real wax was left in the corner by him. Chu Chen thought it was funny.
However, Chu Chen could not have found such a leak without Nian Dashan. To some extent, Chu Chen had to thank this fool.
After a while, Nian Dasha came in from the door cursing. You don't have to guess. He asked about the result Meng Yi had just said.
Seeing this, Chu Chen went forward, raised his hand and asked, "boss Nian, I want to ask this Buddha statue back. How much do you want?"
Nian Da Sha was still a little stunned when he saw what Chu Chen had in his hand, because he didn't remember when he received it. Of course, although he didn't remember when it was received, it didn't prevent him from quoting. He gave Chu Chen a thumbs up with a smile and said: "boss Chu, your eyes are good. It's made of old honey wax Buddha statue... "
"All right, all right!" Hearing this, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "it's made of Xiuyu. If it's really old wax, would you like to put it in a corner?"
Xiuyu is a kind of jade with a long history of development and utilization in China. It is known as one of the four famous jades in China. However, except for a small part of Xiuyu, the price of other jades is relatively common. Now in the market, Xiuyu, the size of a Buddha statue in chuchen's hand, is only a few tens of dollars, so the purchase price is cheaper.
Xiuyan Jade has dark green, green, light green, brown, dark red and other colors. The depth of color is related to the amount of iron content. When there is more iron, the color is generally dark, otherwise the color is light. Xiuyu also has a strong waxy luster, glass luster, and some show grease luster.
Because of this, Chu Chen felt that Nian Dasha must have regarded the material of this Buddha statue as Xiuyu. As for the artistic style, how can you tell with his insight?
"MD, this boy is as good as a monkey!"
As Chu Chen thought, Nian Da Sha really thought that way. He scolded secretly, then he was stunned for a while, patted his thigh fiercely and said in shock: "ah! I thought it was made of old wax. That unscrupulous businessman cheated me again! "
With that, he showed his anger again. I don't know, I thought he was cheated again.
Chu Chen didn't want to do this. He asked again, "boss Nian, what's the price?"
"Ah! Since it's Xiuyu's, boss Chu, please look at it. I don't think you will let me suffer any loss! " Nian Da Sha sighed and waved his hand.
Chuchen said with a smile, "what do you want me to say? I also think the carving of this Buddha statue is good, so I want to invite you back, or I'll give you 50?"
"Boss Chu, you are a big boss. Fifty is a little too little. Three hundred!"
To tell you the truth, even if it's 50 yuan, Nian Da Sha will actually agree, because he will write down the goods more than 50 yuan. It's just that Chu Chen didn't care at all when he took out forty thousand yuan. He felt that Chu Chen was also a rich man. Of course, he had to do more with his money.
Chu Chen frowned and said, "my money is not stolen. You can ask for three hundred Xiuyu things. You really think I'm a mallet! Eighty at the most, if you can't do it! "
Looking at Chu Chen's resolute face, Nian Da smashed his mouth and thought that Xiuyu had more than 80 things, so he agreed with a smile.
In order to avoid a long night's dream, Chu Chen paid directly, and then put the things back in his bag.
Nian Dasha felt that something was wrong when he saw that Chu Chenhe seemed to be in a hurry. However, at this time, Chu Chen standing in front of him looked at his back and gave a light sigh, which immediately interrupted his thinking and looked behind him.
Nian Da Sha had an ordinary wooden statue beside him. Because it was placed behind the door, you could only see it obliquely. So when you came in just now, you didn't pay attention to it.
There is nothing special about this statue. The reason why Chu Chen is surprised is that the image of this wooden statue does not coincide with many statues in his memory.
You know, Chu Chen can never forget. The materials he has read now are various. He can remember clearly the images of ancient statues as long as they are mentioned in books. How could he not be surprised that there was a statue he didn't know?
Chu Chen stepped forward and found that the statue was dressed like an ancient craftsman. That is to say, the statue was probably carved in memory of a craftsman, which explains why he didn't print the statue.The material of the statue is also very common wood. Because it is too old, small cracks can be seen everywhere on the surface of the statue.
Originally, if this statue was just like this, Chu Chen would no longer pay attention to it. However, two other features of the statue made him feel that it was quite extraordinary.
First of all, after the completion of the statue, the lacquer gilding process was used. Although most of the gilding on the statue had fallen off after years of baptism, at that time, it cost a lot to gild a statue with a height of nearly 90 cm, which also showed that people attached great importance to the statue at that time.
Secondly, the carving technology of this statue is also quite extraordinary, with vivid features, smooth clothing patterns, skillful and sophisticated sculpture techniques, and no trace of knives and axes. It is delicate and vivid, belonging to the style of early Ming and Han Dynasty statues. It can be said that there is nothing inferior to the sculptor who carved the Buddha statue just now.
Therefore, although the material of this statue is ordinary, the details of these two aspects are quite extraordinary, which makes Chu Chen immediately raise his interest.
Nian Da Sha was very happy to see that Chu Chen was interested in the wooden statue. This wooden statue was an object he received when he came out of prison and arrived in Jinling.
At that time, he didn't know what kind of statue it was, but he knew it was very old-fashioned and thought it should be a good thing, so he received it from the owner's house for 200 yuan.
Originally, Nian Dasha wanted to make the first pot of money on this wooden medium, but the reality was very cruel. Many people who had seen the statue didn't buy it. First, they didn't know who the statue represented. Second, the materials used in the statue were too common.
Although people who have seen the year of the statue think it should not be too late, because of these two points, the price given by everyone is not high, which is about 200 yuan.
Although Nian Dasha spent 200 yuan to buy this statue, he would sell it at that time as long as he didn't lose money. But the key is that he brought it back and spent a sum of money. In this way, 200 yuan must be a loss. Therefore, he didn't sell it as soon as he gritted his teeth. As a result, it has been put to the present.
Now that Chu Chen has taken a fancy to it, Nian Da Sha thinks that no matter what, the other party can't only pay 200 yuan. Maybe he can not only get back the capital, but also make a small profit. How can he not feel happy?
So, when Chu Chen took back his eyes, Nian Dasha quickly came forward and asked, "boss Chu, are you interested in this statue?"
Chu Chen nodded and said straightforwardly, "yes, I don't know how much would you like to give up? However, I have made it clear in advance that the material of this statue is not good. If the price is too high, it will be fine. "
"If the material is good, it's your turn!"
Nian Da Sha muttered to himself, then thought about it, stretched out two fingers and said, "this number!"
"Twenty?" Chuchen teased him.
"It's not twenty!" Nian Da Sha said with a bitter smile: "if you want, two thousand!"
Chu Chen looked at each other with a smile and said, "I hate people to use me as a mallet. Since boss Nian asked for such a price, that's OK!"
With that, he shrugged his shoulders and was ready to leave for something else.
This statue, has been a big fool's heart disease, he quickly stopped Chu Chen, nodded and said: "boss Chu, I just haven't seen money, you don't have the same opinion with me, OK! How about a thousand? "
"A thousand is too expensive!" Chu Chen shook his head.
Nian Da said bitterly: "boss Chu, to tell you the truth, I bought this statue, and even the freight cost is several hundred. Let me earn a little bit! How about another 10% discount? "
Chuchen said with a smile: "I really like to collect some rare things. I just don't think I've seen the statue before, so I'm going to buy it and study it. As for the statue, you should know that if it's good, there won't be a thick layer of dust on it. "
Nian Da said with a smile, "how much do you think it should be?"
"Six hundred, I think that's about it!" Chu Chen made a gesture.
Nian Dasha said with a little pompous expression: "my boss Chu, I'm going to lose money for 600 years! Eight hundred, eight hundred, this statue with a long history, is yours
Chu Chen thought about it and said, "I'll take a step back, 66 Dashun. I'll give you six hundred at most."
Nian Dafa thought about it and thought that although the price didn't meet the expectation, it was barely enough, so he said with a wry smile, "OK, I'll give it to you!"
